Candidates describe the Abc Data Analyst interview as friendly in tone but uneven in content. Several report a mostly conversational process built around walking through past projects, explaining why you want the role, and talking about your background. One candidate found the technical side less intensive than expected. Another came away feeling the Python and SQL bar was high, so it is safest to prepare for both.
On the technical side, reports mention Python and SQL fundamentals, an aptitude test, a coding round, and OOP basics. One candidate who received an offer faced a live SQL round covering join types, self-joins, CTEs and window functions. The same candidate was asked about decision trees, clustering and regression, and how to improve a recommendation system. Another candidate was asked a Java Stream API question.
Some interviews moved toward business thinking. One candidate was asked to segment viewers by channel and said the strategy and market segmentation questions caught them off guard. Another described the role as leaning toward finance and business analysis rather than heavy technical work.
Structure differs by account. Candidates describe anything from three rounds to a five-stage process with a hiring manager, a panel and senior leadership. One reported that the process took about three to four weeks. Outcomes were mixed, including offers, declined offers and rejections, so confirm the format and the technical-versus-business emphasis with your recruiter early.

Real interview reports from people who went through the Abc process.
The interview was pretty straightforward and, honestly, much friendlier than I expected. The first thing that stood out was how relaxed the conversation felt. In my case, they started with a simple opener like “introduce yourself apart from your CV,” and then moved into a more general question about how I liked the role. That set the tone for the rest of the process, which felt more like a conversation than a grilling. The people I spoke with were very polite and easy to talk to, and the overall vibe was positive.
That said, it wasn’t completely casual. The process was described as three rounds and it did take a while to finish, with each round being handled thoroughly. The technical part was more focused on pure concepts and scenario-based coding rather than anything overly complex or algorithm-heavy. I was also asked technical questions that tested how I think through problems, so it helped to be ready to explain your reasoning clearly instead of just giving a final answer. Overall, it felt like they were trying to assess both fit and technical comfort. I ended up declining the offer, but the process itself was a good learning experience and the company seemed to offer a decent package and a good work location for the right candidate.
Prep tip from this candidate
Be ready for a three-round process that mixes a casual fit conversation with purely technical and scenario-based coding questions. Practice explaining your approach clearly, since the interview seemed to care about how you think through problems as much as the final answer.

Prepare a short, specific motivation for Abc and this role.
Several candidates report a technical round or test. Topics mentioned include Python, SQL, OOP basics, an aptitude test and a coding round. One candidate described a live SQL round with joins, CTEs and window functions. Another found the technical questions conceptual and scenario-based rather than algorithm-heavy, so the depth may vary by team.
Candidates report detailed walkthroughs of previous projects, covering the approach, tools and outcomes. Some also faced scenario questions, such as improving a recommendation system or segmenting viewers by channel. Expect to explain your reasoning aloud, and prepare for business framing as well as pure data work.
One candidate describes later stages with a hiring manager, a panel and senior leadership, while others report three or four rounds in total. These conversations typically cover culture fit, motivation, how you handle new challenges and career goals.
